I watch a channel called Semiretired Bob. He is now moving to an off grid place of his own in the west Texas desert. I have been telling him all the things you guys are doing. Turns out, he has been watching you all along for good ideas. You guys are providing some great information, and people of all kinds are watching.

Ashley, I totally understand. I lost my husband 6 months ago, and the colors have lost their vibrancy, and life seems like a lot of work, some days. I know this is a season, and I'm working through it, but, I'm praying life gets happy again 😢

Take good care of yourself. Time does heal but it’s not something that can be rushed. Best. 😍🇨🇦

[@kathylenn9153]

Ashley, we are in florida's 100 plus temperatures where humidity makes the heat index so much higher. So many of the people who work out of doors such as lawn care people & many sports oriented folks who fish or run, or hike in the extreme heat wear long sleeve out door shirts called UPF 50 + sun protection with SPF rash guard. These shirts are not usually in dark colors, some have a hoodie attached which i love, when mine get filthy from yard work i wash them special to get the grass & dirt stains out. The reason we love them is because when they get dampened by sweat , they have a cooling effect. Sometimes I wet mine to help me cool down . I am at that age when My figure is more in rolls rather than curvy, so I always buy the mens big x large so the shirt does not cling to me. Amazon is one of many places that have them reasonably priced, i also wear them kayaking fishing etc with a big floppy hat to protect me from sun. They may be perfect for your family members in your arizona heat

[@KarenSmith-ys3sk]

I have a few of those,they do alot of cooling for me when I work outside,I also have the cooling towels that also work well!

[@Fiona2254]

I have those and fishing long sleeve shirts. Also wear my floppy hat here in north east Texas where the summers are super hot and humid.

[@Lyrain2212]

Do they have a P. O . Box somewhere so we could send them some?

Hope it starts cooling off very soon for yall. Glad you made great progress, I m getting a knee replacement in the morning. Looking forward to healing up.

[@nancyschwartz5665]

As I have said before you are just a bunch of bad a**es! Have you ever considered having multiple piles of sand delivered around the perimeter of the house? The amount of time you could save hauling things back and forth would be significant. Especially since you will continue to need it at all of the locations. Just my 27 cents worth. As a counselor I find your candor and openness about getting help refreshing. I'm proud of you. You will never know just how many people have been inspired by your journey to find your smile again... and there it is!!

[@eyetok_alot]

i was thinking the same, put some dirt on each side where you need it, saves a lot of wheelbarowing

Who do we take care of ? It takes awhile for our eyes land on ourselves. Me ? You going to laugh 😂 we truly have no idea how. But life showed me where I needed to start. Commitment to and for myself. I chose to hike up a granite mountain every Sunday alone. This was huge for me. and hugely self awakening ❤ this commitment helped build my strength, my confidence , an appreciation for what I can accomplish for myself.

About the allergies: not sure how the drug situation is for you, but for me visiting an allergie doctor helped me get a better drug. Loratadin/ceterizin are crappy, ebastin is much much better for me. Also try cortisol (?) Based nasal sprays. In germany the good stuff requires seeing a doctor.

[@nancyhubbard221]

Yay for progress! We're building a house in Prescott using regular construction methods, but I'm still very much enjoying watching your process and progress. We finally have some walls up after 3 months of digging the foundation and some other delays! The concrete guys hit bedrock while digging out the crawl space which was very difficult to deal with, but they persevered! Now it's beginning to actually look like a house!

The cement and mesh material may not be cheap but it's a lot cheaper than wood and insulation.

[@wikingagresor]

Not only cheaper, but it will last longer. Another not said as much factor, but also very important is that dirt walls are good at stopping bullets. In a land of the 2nd amendment, building walls from materials that could not stop a bullet is stupid.

You're helping to take some of the stigma away from needing mental health help for your audience. It's a part of being healthy!

Too bad you're too hot and too tired to celebrate your accomplishment! Wow, 13, 94 pound bags of Portland cement at $23/bag to complete a course of hyperadobe bags for the roundhouse!

I have some questions... 1: looks like you are NOT using your own soil anymore? 2: is there a possibility to work in the night or very early morning? And than make siesta during the hottest time of the day.. 3: sometimes i worked at construction in france.. the work had to be done... so we hat a bu ket of water and soaked our shirts an took it wet on. Even a light brise gave helpful cooling than. And as we were not so much sweating we kept our mineral loss down. Of course... you had to repest that every hour. After a few days we just took a bathtub nearby and sprung periodically fully clothed in it. Helped us a lot. Maybe this is an option for you also.

[@TinyShinyHome]

1. Not currently - see kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaC3nXmCfMSWors 2. Here the UV is worse in the morning than afternoon, and since we have other work, school, etc... we usually do that in the morning so afternoon works best for us most of the time 3. No need to soak our shirts, we just sweat through them 😂 Seriously we do use the mister on the hose to do something similar if were hot.
